A schwannoma of the larynx is a rare benign tumor that usually presents as a submucosal mass in the pyriform sinus and the aryepiglottic space, and this type of schwannoma constitutes a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for otolaryngologists. We present here two cases of supraglottic schwannomas that were misdiagnosed as laryngoceles. Both were excised through a lateral thyrotomy approach wi...

In spite of being the most common nonepithelial neoplasm, chondrosarcoma makes up only about 0.2% of all head and neck malignancies and approximately 1% of all laryngeal tumors. Primary laryngeal chondrosarcoma is rare with only 300 cases being reported in literature. Herein, we present a case of 61-year old male who presented with long-standing neck mass. Histopathological exami nation, reveal...

Introduction: Laryngeal dysfunction may be divided into three categories; organic, neurologic and functional disorders. Dysphonia and hoarseness are the most common symptoms and, in some cases, the only signs of laryngeal dysfunction. In differential diagnosis of any type of chronic hoarseness, a neoplastic process must be considered and, thus continuous light video laryngoscopy can provide imp...

An exhaustive literature review of the last two decades discloses 47 laryngeal malignant neoplasms in children and adolescents. The most frequent malignant neoplasm is the embryonal variant of rhabdomyosarcoma. The timely diagnosis of a laryngeal neoplasm depends on maintaining a high index of suspicion in a patient with progressive airway obstruction, dysphagia or dysphonia, and conducting an ...

Coarctation of the aorta secondary to a cervicomediastinal thorotrastoma developed in a 30-year-old man 25 years after carotid arteriography. Other local manifestations of the thorotrastoma included occlusion of the left common carotid artery and partial occlusion of the left vertebral and left subelavian arteries, bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paresis, periesophageal adhesions, and multi...

Chondrosarcoma, a sub mucosal hard, slow growing and local aggressive tumor, is the most frequent mesenchymal neoplasm of the larynx. Diagnosis is supported both by clinical appearance and radiological evaluation, even because a biopsy is not always easy to obtain, due to its hardness. Laryngeal chondrosarcomas are histologically differentiated as low-, intermediateand high-grade lesions and to...

BACKGROUND Hibernomas are rare, benign tumors of brown adipose tissue uncommonly found in the head and neck. METHODS A review of the English-language literature was conducted for this study. We present a series of 2 laryngeal hibernomas treated with transoral laser microsurgical resection at a tertiary referral center over a period of 18 years. RESULTS Only 2 cases of laryngeal hibernoma ha...

Highly differentiated thyroid cancer is a common endocrine neoplasm with favorable prognosis. However, errors in the treatment of this pathology can significantly worsen patient’s quality life. Patient V., 65 years old, underwent an operation for papillary injury to recurrent laryngeal nerve 2015. Only 6 months later, RAI therapy was performed insufficient dose RI, and levothyroxine prescribed at t...
